The White Hag Barrel Aged Program
In 2016, we embarked on an ambitious journey into barrel ageing, fueled by passion and the support of our community. With the launch of our ‘Adopt a Barrel’ crowdfunding campaign, we set out to fill 100 barrels - but the response was overwhelming. Today, our dedicated ageing facility houses nearly 300 exquisite oak barrels, each brimming with character and history.
From rich Bourbon, Scotch, and Irish spirit casks to European wine and sherry barrels, we’ve transformed dozens of beers into limited-edition treasures. These coveted bottles have found homes in the cellars of collectors and craft beer lovers around the world.
We have produced over 40 styles of beer from the 300+ barrels we have hosted, with some taking up to 7 years to finish.
But we're just getting started..
A bold new chapter is brewing, and soon, our friends, family, and fans will have another opportunity to be part of this exciting evolution.
As we reignite the programme of beer aging each year, so too we transfer guardianship of the beer soaked barrels to our friends at Great Northern Distillery. Here, the barrels have been used to aged and finish distinctive Irish whiskeys from their immense collection of styles.
From this process has emerged The Spirit of The White Hag, a collaborative spirit aging project undertaken to discover and share the strength of flavour our beers impart to the spirits hosted in the barrels. The constant rotation of barrels and beers has allowed us tweak and refine the spirits, with our first batch of 2 styles now available. You can view the collection here.
